Shadow & Light: 2014
Shadow and Light
Call for Entry:
Theme:
Photography is the recording of patterns of darkness and light. Shadows
enhance the relationships of subjects in an image, they give definition
and dimension, which compliments the quality of the light values.
Photographers have used dramatic shadows and patterns in black and white
images and have also explored using ethereal and moody shadows and
textures in color photography. We will be looking for a range of how
shadow and light are interpreted by contemporary photographers.

Kiernan Gallery-Call for Work
Expressions: Contemporary Portraiture
Description:
Historically, portraiture
has relied heavily on artistic interpretation of the subject.
Photographs, while still embracing the artist’s point of view, record
selected surroundings and fractions of seconds. This allows for a
different kind of interpretation; one based on real-life context rather
than medium and imagination. For Expressions: Contemporary Portraiture The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs of the self or of others that capture the expression, personality, or mood of the subject.
For
this exhibition, juror Robin Rice will select up to 25 images for
display in the main gallery, and up to an additional 35 to be included
in the online gallery. All images will be reproduced in an exhibition
catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice
will also be announced and will receive a free copy of the catalogue.
Juror: Robin Rice
Deadline: February 21st, 2014
Fee: $25 for up to 5 images
Gallery: The Kiernan Gallery Lexington, VA
